Welcome back to The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast. In today’s playful and heart-opening solo episode, Candace is here with a loving reminder: life is meant to be lived, not perfectly managed.

From grass stains to Christmas wrapping explosions, this episode celebrates the joy found in letting things get a little messy. Whether it’s your kids jumping in puddles or you getting jam in your shirt while in the kitchen, some of the sweetest memories come when we stop aiming for spotless and start saying yes to fun.

Inside this episode:
🌈 Why messiness is often a sign that we’re fully present
🧒🏼 How we sometimes rob ourselves and our kids of joy in the name of “keeping things clean”
🧼 A fresh take on cleanup—it’s always possible, and always worth the fun that came before it
🎉 Real life isn’t pristine, and that’s what makes it magical

So roll up your sleeves, toss perfection out the window, and let life be as wild, wonderful, and joyfully messy as it wants to be.

Welcome back to The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast.

In today’s episode, Candace opens up about a decision she made a few years ago to release the need for a permanent teaching contract—and how choosing flexibility over fear has created more alignment and freedom in her life. She reflects on the quiet strength it takes to trust that things are working out, even when the path ahead isn’t perfectly clear.

✨ Letting go of what feels “secure” to make space for what feels aligned
🌙 Trusting life’s unfolding, even when we don’t have all the answers
💛 Seeing how hindsight reveals the beauty in choices that once felt uncertain
🌀 Noticing repeating patterns as invitations for healing and growth

This episode is an honest and gentle reminder that trust isn’t passive—it’s a conscious choice to believe in something greater, even (and especially) when you can’t see the full picture yet.

Whether you're in the middle of a life shift, waiting for clarity, or just needing a dose of divine reassurance—this episode is for you.

If this landed in your life today, it’s not by accident. 🌈
